MILLEDGEVILLE,Ga.- In day two of the Craig Massee Real Estate

period.

The Railspliters of LMU outscored the Braves 44-41 in the second
half but the Braves held on and won 85-80 due in part to 33 bench
points, countering Lincoln Memorial's 23. LMU was able to stay in
the game as they shot .333 (12-36) from beyond the three-point
line, but the Railsplitters were outscored 44-20 in the paint, 15-9

Dayshalee Salaman led the Railsplitters with 23 points and
Amberly O'Dell scored 22. Whitney Holmes was two points away from

The final game of the tourney pitted the Tuskegee Tigers and the
Bobcats of GCSU, with Georgia College defeating the Tigers 76-43.

At halftime, the Bobcats were up 34-25 but dominated the second
stanza allowing only 18 points on Tuskegee's .158 (6-38) shooting
from the floor. Tequila Martin's 14 points and eight rebounds led
Tuskegee. Martin was aided by Ameila Dorton's 10 points and seven
boards.

Georgia College dominated nearly every facet of the game as they
outscored the Tigers 36-22 in the paint, 23-2 off turnovers and
16-4 on fast-break points.

Senior Shandrea Moore
(Ft. Lauderdale,Fla.) came close to finishing
with a double-double as she had eight points and eight assists.
This marks the fifth time in 10 games this season that Moore has
had at least eight assists in a game.

Antoinette Reames
(Orlando,Fla.) was two boards from a
double-double, finishing with 13 points and eight rebounds. The
senior also had three blocks which puts her at 90 in her career.
The 90 blocks has her fifth on the school's all-time list, one
block away from tying Marquitia Driskell and
needing only five to pass Dalana Watson and
Ashley Williams, who sit atop the record books
with 94.

At the conclusion of the Craig Massee Real Estate Classic, the
